I just got a Xbox-360 for free and decided to play around with it.
Have you ever heard it was possible to play backups of your favorite games on XBox 360?
Well all depends on the drive you got inside the Xbox :-)

I have the Benq, and from 5th November, it is possible to run backups on that drive too.
It requires that you open the Xbox 360, void warranty, and flash the drive firmware.

Hey don’t get mad at me, I’m not switching to Microsoft anyway, don’t worry :)

Some more interesting news in the battle against out-of-the-box 1.1.2 iPhones!
Here is a small clarification of the problem, and the current status.

All the US iPhones that came on week 45 and after have the 1.1.2 firmeware,
with the new bootloader version 4.6. Those phones can still be jailbroken and activated,
but there is no software sim unlock solution yet.

The new 4.6 bootloader has fixed the exploit allowing to run unsigned code,
reflash modem baseband firmware. This new bootloader must be analysed, so it
has to be dumped!

TA_MOBILE from Vietnam has successfully dumped it!

Files are available!

The German operator Deutsche Telekom announced today that it was going
to sell the iPhone without contract, at the cost of 999 euros, following a decision
of the magistrates’ court of Hamburg.

Deustche Telekom will also propose to the customers having already acquired
an iPhone with a contract to UNLOCK their phone, it indicated in an official statement.

I’m curious about the unlock method they will use as there is no unlock for 1.1.2 yet!
Maybe an official unlock will leak soon!

You gotta love Europe!
